JILL PARIS / FOOTAGE FROM THE 2026 SHOW

Six months around a participation at JILL Paris

Working timetable: early July 2027 to early January 2028. The proposed JILL dates are October 1–4, 2027, subject to confirmation by the show.

  1. 01

    Before the trade show

    Prepare the commercial offer, pricing and margins, lookbook and sales documents. Identify and prospect buyers, arrange appointments, and connect sales commitments to production capacity and cash flow.

  2. 02

    JILL Paris

    Each brand participates under its own name, accompanied by LIGNES DE FUITE. The show is the setting for meeting buyers, presenting collections and agreeing on clear next steps.

  3. 03

    After the trade show

    Follow up with buyers and confirm orders. Track production, delivery and payment collection, then equip retailers to sell the goods. Review results and prepare a future independent participation, including its budget and funding applications.

Product development continues outside the program, in parallel. Its costs and deadlines are part of commercial and financial planning. The goal is a repeatable method brands can use independently, including for a spring 2028 show.
